Inheriting a Large Code Base

This is a talk about solving the most difficult problem a software engineer ever faces: converting a large inherited codebase with antiquated designs and spotty quality into a state-of-the-art, modern system. This presentation covers clang-based refactoring, mnemonic reasoning methods, safe rewrites, coding standards, and migration paths. If you have ever been tasked with making a legacy codebase the best-in-class, or think you might, then this talk is for you.
